The first BSL Cup championship game is a few days away

This is it, the big one, the BSL Cup Final. Who will be the first to win it all?

Leading the way is the league's 2009 Honors Trophy winner, Capital District, with an outstanding season of 47 points (including 15 wins) who are currently on an 11 game unbeaten streak which is tied for the record. The challenger just happens to be the other Bigtime team that holds the unbeaten streak record, Montgomery County, and hopes this is the perfect time to cut down the Gunners.

There is already a bit of history between these two clubs. The last
time these teams met was in the 4th of July in a match of the week showcase. At the time these two were fighting for first place and had only 4 losses combined between them. The game ended in a rather unusual 2-2 tie, far below their offensive averages and far below these teams first match-up in week one when the Gunners won 7-4.

It seems almost poetic that the one opponent these two clubs failed to play atleast three times is the opponent they must face to win the BSL Cup. Both clubs have recently added some firepower in their playoff runs with the new additions to the domestic league. Capital District signed J.Padilla, and Montgomery County signed L.Landon.
